Nico resides in a quaint coastal town, a place that resembles any other, with ordinary neighbors and friends. However, are they truly ordinary? As Nico explores his town, he introduces readers to his diverse group of friends. There's Josean, who works on the docks and possesses the potential to become an Olympic rower. Peru recites various types of poetry to his son. Nico's closest companion, Telmo, is a skateboarder with a wild imagination. Eva plays a mean jazz guitar and offers lessons to earn her rent and attend school. Additionally, there's Keiko, a potter; Dave, who is exceptionally tall; Sara, who owns a bookstore; and Claud, a waiter whose true passion is astronomy. Altogether, there are twenty-one individuals depicted in charming and colorful drawings that celebrate uniqueness and quirkiness. This book encourages young readers to engage with their surroundings and recognize the distinct qualities of everyone around them.
